Suspension FAQ
Autocross FAQ


If you pretend that cars are moving cones, then the roads become your personal autocross course.

I live my life 1 cone at a time, for those 70 seconds or less, I'm free


Thanks to ALPHSTER for the sig!

"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "
